Bodywork: n. the application of specific massage techniques to align the body and promote mental and physical harmony. The human body and psyche did not evolve in a way to cope with modern stress. Undue stress is stored in muscle tissue and joints. Bodywork releases that stored tension, relaxes stiff muscles, and frees joints, allowing the body to find its natural alignment. Further, professional bodywork reduces chronic pain, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, assists with injury recovery and enhances any fitness or athletic program.
